Introduction

Hi, I'm Michael Linert, a musician looking to connect with vibrant, passionate, loving people often through performance and education. Many of my activities run through my company, The ML Connection, LLC, which includes my brand, Lumiroar, helping people to connect through light, sound, creativity, and more! Let’s Resonate!

I most frequently sing and play cello, and my musical tastes vary from a very sparse, minimalist approach to music making, such as pieces for solo cello, to the grand, spectacular approach, such as in operatic or orchestral performances. The music that I perform and teach is frequently from the 1700-1900s, some of my favorites being by J.S. Bach, Handel, and Dvorak, and I also enjoy composing and inspiring others to create original works that express one’s voice.

I seek to engage with others through common experiences. This requires an openness and desire to connect from myself as well as my audience, and even with the greatest intentions, I find it a rare, exquisite experience to truly connect with someone in a lasting, memorable way. It is this elusive aspect of the human experience which I seek daily through my practice, performance, and teaching to find, and I can only hope that it may happen with you.

I invite you to please join me on this journey!
